Yes it would be a lot better if you cropped most of the water out, as that adds nothing to your shot. And as suggested a good size for forums is around 800pixels to 1,000pixels on a side.You will find that for most computer set up that will be a lot better.As bigger isn't better!

Yes much better, it now does some justice to your work! Looks that good in the video it will look much better in person! A very nice launch and power plant, it really is very nice for a first foray into model engineering

Is the launch planked board by board or just scribed lines on the hull on the inside. You have fitted it out well.

A little bit of background:I am a member of Saltwell park model boat club Gateshead UKThe model started life as a Wide a Wake but changed along the way,it is a lapstake hull so called in the USA clinker in the UK.With an overall length of 52" and a beam of 16" its a bit of a lump not sure about the weight but it hurts.I have used a range of timber including: cherry ,pear, walnut and mahogony.The boiler and pump followed the building of the engine, at the moment a modified camping stove provides the heat.I have started to look at the gas supply side of the project including making an Attenuator based on a design by Malcolm from the Paddle ducks forum.
